Contra Costa County Fire Protection District  firefighters responded to a structure fire in Antioch at an old fire station Thursday night on Deefield Drive at 8:20pm.

According to radio traffic, CONFIRE crews arrived on scene to heavy smoke and flames showing. The crew from Engine 88 made entry into the building with Engine 82 serving as backup. With the fire timer hitting just over 20-minutes, the fire was out and timer was stopped at roughly 8:45pm.
